In Bach Mai Hospital from May 1998 to June 2002, 23 children aged 10-15 (15 girls and 8 boys) with malformation of brain vessel were diagnosed definitely. Most of under 11-year-old children have swelling vessel, 30.4% of above 11-year-old children have AVM malformation - 52.1%. The main manifestations of brain vessel malformation are hemorrhage of brain lobe 65.2%, subarachroid hemorrhage 39.1%, brain ischemia 30.4%, epilepxy or epileptic conditions 21.7%, head pain of migraine type 17.4%. Unilateral palsy of III nerve is specific sign for diagnosis of swelling of prosterior communicating artery with a rate of 8.7%. Dysphasia is temporary, while the visual dysfunction is more persistent

There were 173 cases of congenital malformations of newborn who were born at Gynecology and Obstetrics Department, Bach Mai Hospital from 1/1/1999 to 30/9/2003. Rate of congenital malformations was 1.31%. Rate of hydrocephaly is 0.13%, anencephaly was 0.08%, omphalocele and diapharagmatic hernia and abdominal cleft was 0.08%. Rate of congenital malformation in boys was higher than that in girls ( sex ratio=1.25). Some of factors such as parent occupation and age related to higher rate of having child with malformation. High-risk factors related to the congenital malformations of newborn were discussed.

Superior petrosal sinus (SPS) dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) is one of tentorial DAVFs with significant morbidity, which usually drains into the petrosal vein and its tributaries. Unless there is a connection with venous sinus, surgical obliteration is required. We present two cases of SPS DAVF which were successfully treated with the presigmoid retrolabyrinthine approach.

Tentorial dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) is a rare vascular disease, which has high risk of intracranial hemorrhage. We present two cases of tentorial DAVF which were successfully treated with single trial of transarterial embolization using Onyx. We briefly reviewed the types of the tentorial DAVF and strategies of treatment.

A case of cavernous angioma of the cerebellar vermis is described. Cevernous angioma is rare vascular malformation of the central nervous system and the cerebellar vermis is very unusual site. Exact preoperative diagnosis of this lesion is difficult because cavernous angioma is angiographically silent and generally accepted to be very rare. The relevant literature is reviewed.
